When we pulled up I was alarmed to see a barrier with a £15 per night charge sign and only when I rang reception did they assure me that we wouldn’t have to pay as residents. This could’ve perhaps been conveyed on the sign so we were not worried to drive the rough the barrier and camera.
The room reminded me of a prison cell, I don’t mean this to be unkind but the use of scaffolding pipes as a form of artsy decor didn’t come off very well. The carpet was a robust sort of easy clean type stuff which I understand as I’m sure hikers etc would have muddy boots, but I think it made the room smell unpleasant. The mattress was really hard, I even considered rolling up the duvet and lying on top of it. On a final note, there was one pillow. It took minimalist to the very extreme and I have to say for £180 (£203 incl. breakfast) I was far from impressed.
It is worth noting that the TV will only work if you have an android mobile, which was unfortunate.
I love going away and we have stayed in many many hotels and I always am open minded and looking to enjoy myself, but this hotel must surely be one of the worst we have visited. If it had been £60 I could’ve overlooked all these elements, but not for that price. I found myself lying in bed thinking of all the lovely Premiere Inns and Travelodges I have ever stayed in and how they were half the price and would’ve given me two pillows lol!
